Abstract:
Scientists at The University of Manchester have created a new gel which provides a pH neutral environment for culturing cells in 3D, as published in the journal Advanced Materials (March 2006). In their paper, 'Nanostructured Hydrogels for Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Through Self-Assembly of Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-Dipeptides', Dr Rein Ulijn and collaborators describe how the gel is created through a process of self-assembly.
